For those living in Europe: The brand Theramid has a 15% Azelaic Acid Lotion that works really well. Acnemy has 10% sulfur mask that is also amazing. Both are quite affordable given the concentration. :)

When I changed my diet and eliminated sugar and lowered my carbohydrates. All of my redness and pustules went away... I focused on whole foods, lots of vegetables and Animal My skin completely cleared up... I was Told by my dietitian that lower carbohydrates in the diets in high amounts of vegetables lowers inflammation in the whole body...i do still use 10% azelaic acid. Naturium does not peel at all.

Physically annoying and embarrassing at times…definitely psychologically impacting. Thank you for bringing more awareness to this topic

Hearing you mention about feeling anxiety and embarrassment because of the redness really got my attention. Very often I will wear a mask in public because I’m so embarrassed someone will mention my redness. I’m light-skinned Latina with sensitive-rosacea skin.. I’m tryin all the remedies to help 🙌🏼

I've had rosacea for 10 years and this video is more informative than anything I've gotten from a dermatologist. I do have all of the prescriptions, but you're information is above and beyond. Thank you!

For anyone who may be wondering what Dr. Idriss is referring to around the 08:55 mark (Dr. Jart's green, redness-canceling Cicapair) -- she's referencing Color Theory. You'll want to look up something called a Color Wheel which shows what are referred to as Complementary Colors. The complementary colors will be directly across from each other on the wheel. For example, green cancels out red. Yellow will minimize purple (think under the eyes) and vice versa (purple will brighten dull/yellow undertones), etc. Happy color correcting, y'all! 😊❤

I have had rosacea all my life, and it made my teen years very difficult. Every time I endured a stressful situation (like a class presentation), my face was RED. I mean - red, like beetroot or a traffic lightning red. It made me feel very bad about myself and also developed an unhealthy relationship with cosmetics which made me look even worse. When I defended my master's thesis in front of all the professors and other students, I was so stressed out my face was RED, and no amount of foundation could hide it. It was close to a nightmare situation. Eventually, I learned that cutting out sugar and carbs helps me. My whole life I've been ashamed of my blushing problem, and I become paralyzed when it comes to situations with elevated heart rate. Also, it makes me use an excess amount of foundation and concealer daily since it makes me feel safer psychologically, even though I have realized that my redness has noticeably lessened after changing my diet.

Rosacea triggers for me: stress, lack of sleep and heat.

Thank you for dropping knowledge every Saturday morning! You are a badass. My cheeks get flushed when I work out, embarrassed, from alcohol, or just getting hot. It's embarrassing. My esthetician said my capillaries are close to the surface of my skin. Based on your examples, I don't think I have rosacea, but now I want to see a derm for laser treatments like you did. My cheeks get rosey and it's embarrassing when people point it out.

Diaper rash cream team here! I use it as a last step to my night rutine. It really helps with my rocesea AND when I use tretinoin so I don't get irritared 💪🏻

Oh my goodness those tips about rosacea not having blackheads and not being around nasal folds was soooo helpful! Thank you

I suffered from Papulopustular Rosacea for years and nothing got rid of the symptoms, I could only manage them with difficulty. But 10 years ago (~ age 50), I stopped eating dairy altogether. I noticed a remarkable difference after 3 months with the redness, and my skin was totally cleared after 6 months. Is there anyone else out there who has had a similar experience?

[yesicamiranda]

Thank you so much! I love you as a Derm and really appreciate your thoughtful videos. One thing I would love if you explained how to add these products to fit in our AM and PM routines. As well as if we use A dont use B on the same day, etc.

I was recently diagnosed with rosacea and realized I suffered from it for my whole life. During my childhood and teenage years I suffered very bad ocular rosacea(eyelid dryness, inflamation and flaking, eye redness, recurrent blefaritis and dry eye). I was very lucky my cornea didn't got damaged since I suffered from this undiagnosed for 19 years. At that age I started treating my acne caused by pcos and my eye symptoms improved a lot. But being realistic, I think most of those "acne breakouts" were really rosacea episodes. I'm now 27 and in my 20's my skin got more and more sensitive (it has always been, but now is worse). Right now I'm in treatment for rosacea and been feeling a lot better. I'm very grateful with myself because even without a diagnose, I was treating my sking gently and using products that didn't make my rosacea worse.

The BEST rosacea video ever. I think you covered it all!! It took forever to be properly diagnosed. In fact I was treated as adult acne in my 30’s and put on tretinoin which was a total disaster. Years later I determined it was really rosacea. Now at 76 it’s controlled with many of the products you mentioned. I love hypochlorous acid spray and can’t wait to try the Nizoral shampoo.

I sometimes put a zinc sunscreen on my face when its irritated. It really calms my face down

I had great skin until I did microdermabrasion as part of a spa day in my 20’s. I developed rosacea afterward (the zitty looking one). It took 10 years to get it under control. It’s been gone 10+ years now but was so frustrating to deal with. Hang in there! It CAN get better. Azaleic acid, mild skincare, no sun/heat, and SPF. Now that it’s gone, I still wear SPF but can do all the other things without problems, including prescription Retin A.

My brain nearly split in two when you described the 'facial dandruff'. That is EXACTLY the problem!! I used to have very flakey eyebrows and temples, and am currently dealing with scalp psoriasis and flakeyness at the top of my cheeks. Damn! This is gonna be a game changer.

[C-U-Never-Troll]

I feel like this video is directed at me LOL 😂 I was hoping you’d talk about this as redness is one of my biggest skin concerns
